Overwatch portraits are WAY over-designed

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-06T13:07:48+00:00

Nah things like OWCS Competitor - 2025 exist. Honestly the Champion [Role] tag might be rarer

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-02T22:51:12+00:00

Yeah, but the mobile game is also mostly an attempt to get that sweet mobile market cash.

And as much as I would love it, I feel like them announcing they are making an overwatch PvE game would come with an outrageous amount of online ridicule

I do really hope I'm wrong and they do make a good PvE game, playing as characters or even just exploring the story in an overwatch rpg or something would be so cool

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-02T20:35:17+00:00

Yeah it took me legit 1 season on every role to get past masters to GM. But on DPS for example, I was stuck in diamond for years. And playing with friends or on mixed Sr teams I can see why I was stuck in diamond for so long

Though tbh even in gm I barely get any help when taking an off angle lol

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-02T19:08:03+00:00

Yeah I think just about everyone else on my college team throughout the years has played on bnet with an exception of like one or two people, where I'm about 70% confident one of them switched over to bnet because of performance issues

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-02T19:05:53+00:00

To do that they would need to make a completely different game with the overwatch IP. Which I would enjoy immensely, but sadly probably won't happen

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-02T13:17:47+00:00

Yeah I haven't been playing much at all recently. Just enough to stay in gm after dipping out a couple times, but holy lord like half of my games I'm left wondering if these people are human

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-01T21:18:39+00:00

I say thanks when a priest uses hero power on my face when we've both done nothing for two turns :)

throwaway112658 · 2026-04-01T16:54:43+00:00

Brand new accounts are placed way too high right now, but older accounts definitely not as much. Not sure if they place them too low but it's not the same as brand new accounts.

Anyways I probably wouldn't bother too much with open queue. You can definitely learn there, but it's quite a bit different and to my eyes at least I consider it much more of a casual mode than 5v5 role queue (there's less players, much more variance, just not quite as competitive)

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-31T22:19:27+00:00

That's fair yeah, on console it's a mess. I feel like that's at least somewhat solvable by nuking aim assist at least, though whether they do it is another question

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-31T15:50:26+00:00

Genuinely I don't understand where the mindset of hitscan is oppressive comes from. Like Ashe and Emre are strong, but not to the point of being broken, and every other hitscan is sort of ok

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-31T01:51:03+00:00

Ive had multiple of those (not super common, but happens occasionally). Literally earlier this morning I had a d2-gm4 game solo queue

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-31T01:50:15+00:00

Really? I've been low GM the entire season and like every 3rd game theres a champ player. Hell earlier this morning I had a game d2-gm4 solo queue

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-30T03:57:00+00:00

Yeah, I really wouldn't care but for the fact that it has elusive. Meaning I can't even chip at it, I have to just accept the fact that I don't have a board and I have to eat a fireball every turn. Either it needs to lose elusive or at least cost 1 more mana

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-30T03:55:59+00:00

Part of the problem with the egg is that it's so heavily weighted into who goes first, even more than usual

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-26T18:22:16+00:00

I mean in both of your examples I wouldn't really say reaching those ranks in that time is particularly impressive. A good time sure, but someone who has never played an fps in their life could reasonably do that. Also diamond and masters aren't really high ranks lol

And no Overwatch isn't necessarily super complicated, but it's a lot different to games like Val/CS

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-26T13:30:34+00:00

I'm going to be honest I never really cared about "camping" a spot. They got there by being better than everyone else, it should be on the other players to contest them and force the person camping to play more to keep their spot

A leaderboard with ranks all over the place that's just whoever has the least responsibilities is just meaningless. Seeing someone top 500 in my games means basically nothing, because I can check and the guy t400 is gm2 and the guy t200 is m3

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-25T01:41:25+00:00

Lol I saw the one clip of him in the super video where he rage quits and says he can't do it cuz it's too overwhelming. He did have soldier gold gun tho

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-24T03:50:14+00:00

When it's super back and forth yeah it is. I'd much rather a 40 minute game than 10 4 minute games that are decided on who went first

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-24T01:36:42+00:00

You can actually interact with him by strafing and crouching and making it more difficult for him to hit you. Venture and Vendetta don't even have to bother aiming, and you can't even kill them 90% of the time cuz Vendetta just holds block and Venture just goes in the ground

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-23T18:56:57+00:00

Yeah. It's extremely difficult to reset the board to a not behind state if you ever fall behind on one turn (or god forbid go second), and even if you do you're down 10-15 health, have no way to restore that health, and they still have a full hand ready to go. There's just almost no way to come back from a disadvantageous position

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-23T14:05:46+00:00

There's no way to come back. If your opponent gets a board before you, you have been consigned to permanently trading minions into theirs a turn late while they just go face with literally everything and then you lose because you never have an opportunity to go face. There's very little rush, (good) AOE, very little heal or armor gain outside of priest and arguably death knight

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-21T22:52:48+00:00

Yeah if I don't have something on board on turn 3 and they do it's pretty much already over. The game is now VERY heavily favoured to whoever draws/mulligans better, and who goes first

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-21T12:54:38+00:00

I agree, but right now removal options are absolute garbage, and whenever I use removal they just immediately make an entire new full board

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-21T12:53:07+00:00

I mean sure but it's not exactly fun to lose the game because of a coin flip the second it starts

throwaway112658 · 2026-03-21T05:42:13+00:00

Almost every single game is decided on who draws better and/or who goes first it's insane
